2.1 NE-Specific Details

2.1.1 ONS 15216

Some NEs in the ONS 15216 family do not provide a management interface. These NEs are considered

passive because the user enters all data from the CTM client. After the data has been entered, CTM

reports these NEs. Other ONS 15216 NEs provide a management interface; these NEs are considered

active.

See the Release Notes for Cisco Transport Manager Release 9.2 for the passive and active ONS 15216

software releases that CTM R9.2 supports.

Note All ONS 15216 NEs contain a single shelf and have no removable equipment, except for the ONS 15216

DCU, which contains a chassis and a removable module. The ONS 15216 FlexLayer also has a

removable module.

2.1.1.1 PTPs

CTM reports PTPs for ONS 15216 NEs only if a topological link originates from or terminates on the

ONS 15216 NE.
